When

The

Finally,
if the ISM is merged with another society or organisation, your

protection laws. However, we will always take steps to ensure
that your information is used by third parties in accordance with
this policy.

Unless
required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or
distribute any of the information you provide to us without your
